Top Avarua Tours, Tickets & Activities

Relaxed personal tour, answered all our questions and we had a lovely time with our guide Mike.

I did a private 4 hour tour, which was money well spent. Mr Bates was my guide, and he couldn't have been better. He asked what I was interested in before we set off, and tailored the drive to my interests -- old buildings and history. He answered all my questions and gave me an insight into the wonderful Cook Islands that I otherwise wouldn't have had. Towards the end of the tour we met up with the group tour and had a delicious and substantial home-cooked snack, or lunch, at a private house.

Had a blast. Recommend to any age

It was good experience going on this. Met some NZers of my age and enjoyed the music and enthusiasm on the bus. Met others from other countries. It was a good opportunity to go to 4 venues with a group of other people.

Was a wonderful experience around the island and lovely treat to eat as well.

Would highly recommend doing this orientation tour early in your stay. The tour guide Nat picked us up promptly drove our group around on roads we would not have travelled, and pointed out things we would not have noticed. He shared stories of life on the island, and shared his knowledge of the Cook Islands, past and present. He was warm and funny, and answered all our questions. We learned about livestock and farming and also coconuts, then enjoyed fresh sweet bread and fruit and of course the delicious fresh coconut.

Loved learning the history of the island from our very knowledgeable guide. A lovely way to get to know more about Rarotonga

We were picked up and meet the lady who would be raiding with us She was very nice and help full in were we would be riding with all the history about the Island the price was worth it .Very enjoyable 1/2 day out with lunch

An must do at the start of your holiday if it’s your 1st time on the island.

After originally booking for Tuesday, I didn’t get picked up which was disappointing but they changed it to Thursday which worked for me. Guide was amazing, funny and gave lots of great information on the history and villages on the island going around the back road which was my first time in 4 trips to Raro. Was a great few hours finished off by a nice lunch. Bus was nice and air conditioned which made it comfortable as it was a hot day

Very interesting tour with a driver giving a lot of historical explanations and full of agriculture descriptions. At the end he also proposed to show how to peel a coconut and a to enjoy a light suit degustation. Many thanks Nat

Great fun. A must do when visiting Rarotonga. Only recommendation is to take a jacket if it is a bit cool as bus is open.

What a great night, so much fun, laughter and lots of dancing. Enjoyed every moment

Corrina has lots of interesting stories, I recommend taking this tour to get a deep context of history, fauna and flora, local tradition, tips on how to enjoy the island (she wrote a book about it, she really is a specialist) and a fun time out.

Great experience with a local who has great knowledge and history of the area. Path wasn't too challenging and I'm mid 40's who is allergic to cross fit activities. Great fun and tasty kai at the end of the tour!!

An enjoyable couple of hours seeing some of the sights of Raro with local guide Nate.
